For this reason, it can easily deserve a 5, it's their best album. The Focus excel in short distances for me, and here in particular Van Leer and Akkerman deliver brief instrumentals and truly beautiful and inspired songs with their simple yet incredibly beautiful and romantic melodies. The flute in "Janis", the splendid title track, and especially "Focus II," a wonderful piece, my favorite from the band, has a spine-tingling "emotional" intensity. However, in the case of "Moving Waves," the suite is also very beautiful with spine-tingling melodic hints, and then there's the powerful opening of "Hocus Pocus," a classic. Come on, a 5 is well-deserved here.
